This twisting sequence incorporates twisting variations into other areas of our yoga practice, such as forward bends and backbends, giving your spine and major joints the rare opportunity to fully elongate and experience a 360 degree range of movement. The constant focus on your spine throughout the practice will also nurture its strength and suppleness, thereby developing its health and preventing back pain and related injuries. It will also teach you to bring your care and awareness to your back off the mat as well, so that you can develop good habits and proper alignment in your everyday activities.
